[. . . ] The following effects are of significance in respect of the interior temperature: Ambient temperature Quantity and temperature of the food stored; The glass shelf above the vegetable drawers and the bottle shelf should always remain in position, to ensure correct air circulation. Pay careful attention to where the cabinet is placed. When installed correctly the cabinet will consume less energy. Try to avoid keeping the doors open for long periods or opening the doors too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often. If the ambient temperature is high, the thermostat knob is on the coldest setting (higher numbers) and the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously, causing frost or ice to form on the evaporator. If this happens, turn the knob to a warmer setting (lower numbers) to allow automatic defrosting and so a saving in electricity consumption. Do not place warm foods inside the appliance. Keep the heat emitting condenser, the metall grille on the rear wall of your appliance, always clean. To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the central door shelf can be adjusted in height.

Milk bottles: these should have a top and should be stored in the bottle rack on the door. Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator. Melting water flows through defrost water outlet into the evaporative tray maintained on the top of compressor and evaporates due to warmth of it. Check and clean the outlet of melting water coming during defrosting regularly. If it is clogged the melting water gathered can cause earlier failure as it can go to the insulating of the appliance. [. . . ] Make sure that the door is completely closed and that the insulating strip is complete and clean. The temperature where the cabinet is placed is above normal room temperature. It is too cold inside the Turn the temperature regulator to a warmer setting temporarily. The compressor works Turn the thermostat knob to a lower number. [. . . ]
